[amsat-bb] Weather sat imaging

To get images from NOAA weather satellites I have been using an RTL-SDR
with SDR# software and the WxtoImg decoding program. This has worked
successfully for a couple of years. I use the VB virtual audio cable to
connect SDR# to WxtoImg. 

But about a month ago I had to reinstall SDR# as it wasn't working. I
think it may have been due to an update in Windows 10. So, SDR# is
working fine, but since the reinstall of SDR# I can no longer get
viewable images in WxtoImg. The pictures look they have been through the
shredder. I tried the slant correction and the resync as described in
the Help section, but it didn't fix anything. 

It looks like a sync problem, but if the resync doesn't fix it, I'm not
sure what to try next. 

I know these aren't amateur radio satellites, but I'm hoping there's at
least a few of you out there who are downloading weather satellite
pictures and can help me out. 

All reasonable suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
